On the 13th January the new Alitalia celebrated one year of Operations.
Back in the summer and autumn of 2008 continuing into January 2009 I posted some blog entries which cast considerable doubt that Alitalia would have a future.
Well I was (I am pleased to say) wrong! The phoenix like new Alitalia despite a very rocky few days when re-launched has made great strides towards becoming a profitable enterprise. To reach this point there must have been a painful Journey, not just the massive job losses but the clash of cultures when Air One was merged with the remainder of the old Alitalia, However all credit to the Managers and Staff for somehow making it work.
My 'doom and gloom' laden posts can be found here:
